Tornado Warnings Left And Right

This morning I woke up to severe thunderstorm warnings. I had hoped to get to work before it started to rain but I didn't quite make it. I got all the way to work and then the skies opened. Lots of thunder and lots of rain. That was short lived though.

It was a difficult day with lots some of the kids who were acting out of sorts. You would have thought they would have behaved better since tomorrow was the prom. Some kids didn't seem to care about that.

They came to my classroom today and fixed the content filter in my class, the media center, and another teacher's class. Thank God that was fixed.

When I left school we wound up under a severe thunderstorm warning. The radio chronicled a tornado from that storm touching down in Tennessee, possibly killing three. The dark clouds were lapping at my feet. Within fifteen minutes of my arrival the tornado siren went off. A tornado might have been spied up the road in White, Georgia.

We listened and watched but no storm appeared. Then about fifteen minutes after that it began pouring down rain. Lots of thunder and some lightening. In the distance the alarm is being sounded again.

Girl Fight - It Must Be Prom Season

It's been a long, long day today. There was a girl fight at school. The twist on this was that one of the girls called her mother, the mother came to the school, and joined the fight. Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was ice on the windshield but it was much warmer at the end of the day. I decided to take the black plastic of the plants. So far so good.

I finished the book "Water For Elephants". It was a good book. I had been wanting to read it for awhile. I believe they will eventually make it into a movie. For all I know they already are. It was filled with all the things a movie needs, love, betrayal, lots of action.
